If a political solution to the crisis in Sudan is not found, the fighting and displacement will continue, and further destabilize the entire region.
We call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, and stronger efforts to resolve the crisis.

What a sad, sad day that will go down in history for all the wrong reasons.
My thoughts are with my students, my friends, and all asylum seekers today.
I will continue to work with you & others who provide support.

On 22 April 1993, Stephen Lawrence, just 18 years old was murdered in an unprovoked, brutal racist attack. His family have all fought tirelessly for justice. Let us remember Stephen in our hearts.

I spent a lovely afternoon with the The Birth Partner Project today and a new group of volunteers. Talking about the asylum system is depressing, but I always find my time with the project heartening. It's wonderful to be in a room filled with a sense of humanity and support. ♥️
Amazing medical training at University Hospital Llandough.
